KEVIN EMERSON |

Middle grade readers who crave sci-fi, and Young Adult fans will both find great new reads this spring when Kevin Emerson visits with his new titles, The Fellowship for Alien Detection and The Dark Shore. The first is a story of alien abduction and the two clever kids who are trying to learn the truth. The second is the sequel to The Lost Code. |

It’s not every day we get six authors, but that day has arrived! Middle readers? You’ve got to meet these guys: Chris Rylander (The Fourth Stall series), Tom Watson (Stick Dog), Eric Gale (The Bully Book), Chris Healy (The Hero’s Guide to Storming the Castle), Soman Chainani (School for Good and Evil), and Jarrett Krosoczka (Platypus Police Squad). They call themselves “The Class Acts,” and we call ourselves lucky to have them!

The acclaimed writer Rick Yancey stops at Anderson’s to share The 5th Wave, his thrilling new book for young adults. It’s a sci-fi stunner that follows a girl trying to survive among earth’s last humans. It ventures into the “what defines humanity” category, if you can catch your breath in the meantime! |
